A perpetually changing market and demanding competition present difficult challenges for you to meet every day. With BEST as a reliable partner on your side you are a click ahead.

Our LogiKal software provides true value with smooth operating procedures always state-of-the-art and evolving to meet the needs of the professional Contract Glazier.

How do we do it?

LogiKal was developed specifically for the contract glazng industry and staffed by professionals with 100 + years of industry experience. LogiKal is a 'one stop' package for architectural aluminum construction. LogiKal provides all you need in a software solution for the contract glazing industry. From estimating, quoting, fabrication, automated saw and CNC control and much more; LogiKal allows you to control your project from the front office to the back door including installation.

All this with tremendous speed and accuracy.

The logic check provided during the elevation input minimizes errors on estimates and enables you to estimate more work in less time.

The internal word processor allows you to edit reports in LogiKal as well as export the reports to Microsoft Office products or other Office solutions.

LogiKal allows your company to have more than one manufacturers catalog avaliable within the same estimate allowing estimators to create elevations of different manufacturers within the same estimate, i.e., storefront from one supplier and a curtainwall from a second supplier in the same estimate. You can respond comprehensively to your customers needs all with one software program.

Close cooperation with producers of Production Planning Software, ERP software and CNC programs allows your company to create a seamless process from one software to the next.

Designing Storefront, Doors and Curtainwalls in a fast, user friendly way.

You will be A CLICK AHEAD by using LogiKal. Having an exact overview of all costs related to your job allows independence from the aluminum suppliers. Bid any supplier directly from LogiKal. The program has the ability to check structural design per ASCE and UBC codes on profiles, both wind load and dead load. The built in AMA standards for glass always ensures that your glass meets design pressures.

The LogiKal basic version creates a perfect working environment for creating fast, accurate estimates.

Input of ElevationsThe user friendly interface of LogiKal promotes a quick learning curve. Easy entry of Storefronts, Windows, Doors & Curtainwalls is fast in the Input of Elevations section. Pre-define metal groups in system preferences and always have the same material applied to your elevations as you build them. LogiKal guides users through the whole input process reducing errors and increasing productivity.

Design geometry quickly and customize elevations, change profiles, add hardware and glass.

As users input elevations LogiKal automatically checks elevations for

technical feasibility. For example, LogiKal warns the user if the connection between two mullions is non standard and if additional attention is required for estimation and fabrication.

Add wind load and dead load clips to get comprehensive elevations as well as complete material take-offs and orders.

LogiKal can create arched frames and pitched frames with just a click. Insert elevations from other jobs or copy and mirror existing elevations in the same job. Use LogiKal built-in Elevation Library to store your standard elevation and insert them on the fly.

FROM QUOTING TO INVOICING

A friendly wizard guides you to select hardware step by step. You can also create predefined or customized hardware packages. Creating hardware packages allows the user to apply all required hardware with the click of a button.

Complex two-dimensional elevations can be drawn as a line drawing in the LogiKal- 2D CAD suite or imported from AutoCAD. After the import from AutoCAD, LogiKal can automatically apply the preassigned metal group to the center line drawing.

Insert elevations from the template library and modify them so they match your needs. For instance a user can insert an elevation and edit the finish or mullions in just a fraction of the time required to estimate with your existing package.

LogiKal tracks all kinds of material: Aluminum, Steel, Plastics and Wood products.

ReportsLogiKal creates different reports for important information. The layout of reports can

be customized by various set-up options.

Decide for yourself which information shall be displayed on the reports. Determine if

the entire job, phases or only selected positions shall be part of the report. Combine

elevations from separate jobs and summarize them on a single printout.

Depending on the report, you may edit these either in the LogiKal word processor or

directly in Microsoft Word or Excel. Thanks to LogiKals direct interface with Microsoft

Office products this is fully automatic.

Learn more about the individual reports in LogiKal on the following pages.

EstimationBased on your input and supplier price information saved in the database, LogiKal calculates

the purchasing costs for the entire project. With the aid of your historical overhead and

labor costs, the complete production costs are calculated and added to the estimation. The

estimation considers profile price calculation by length, by weight and by area. Color costs can

be calculated by perimeter, by boundary box or by profile weight. Glass prices are calculated

per project or price list, per area or block sizes (i.e. 2 steps). LogiKal also considers transport

costs.

The user determines whether all elevations or single elevations are estimated. Up charges on

wastage can be defined by you or calculated by LogiKal.

Estimation data for separate clients can be added to LogiKal. For instance, if you contract with

the GSA (U.S. General Services Administration), you may have one set of prices for Labor

and Overhead and you may give your best customer a separate rate for Labor and Overhead.

With LogiKal you can preset these separate rates.

Elevation DrawingAll elevations are displayed automatically by the elevation drawing command. Project managers can use this command to review the job after job turnover meetings. Information about quantities, colors, systems, glass types and frame location can be provided automatically.

Material AnalysisThis command enables the project manager to review material requirements for their jobs. This report shows all required Aluminum, Glass, accessories and sundries, helping the project manager to become familiar with the requirements of the job.

U-Value Report

The U-values are calculated automatically during the input of an elevation. The results are presented clearly and comprehensibly in the U-value report. Estimators or outside sales now have the ability to provide the architect with the correct U-Values on every elevation on the entire project. No other estimating software has this ability. Put your company 'A CLICK AHEAD' of your competition.

11

Assembly List Report (TAG Drawings)The elevations are sorted by position and broken down into individual extrusions. LogiKal provides a complete tag drawing. This allows the shop to know exactly where each piece of metal is placed on every elevation. This Assembly list also shows the location of every piece of glass.

Installation Plan ReportCreate installation plans for your field crew with a click. Print elevation-related overviews. This report provides the installation crew with a layout of all the elevations they must install for a period of time providing the following information: Number of elevations, size of elevations, number of lites that must be glazed and total linear footage of sealant required.

OrdersCreate orders for aluminum, accessories, hardware, doors, gasket frames, coatings, glass and panels with the click of a button. The orders are separated by supplier and finish for each aluminum system.

Glass and Panel ReportCreate clearly arranged and sorted glass and panel estimations. Print RFPs and e-mail them to your glass or panel fabricator.

Glass Assignment Plan Report (Glass Tag Drawing) Provide your field crew the installation locations of each piece of glass in every elevation and the location of every elevation on the building. This report provides the Glazier with a complete overview of each location and a tag that will corr
